Black Poetry : Catharsis

I wrote your name
On a piece of paper
First
Middle
And last
Your number
Your date of birth
Your likes
And your dislikes
Your hopes and dreams for the future
The things you liked to do
In and out
Of bed
Your favorite color
Your favorite food
The story
Of how you got that scar on the back of your head
The dimple in your left cheek
The mole behind your right ear
I wrote it all down
Nice and neat
I folded it in three
I placed it in a fresh white envelope
Sealed it nice and tight
I placed that envelope
In the pretty silver tray you bought me for
My 21st birthday night
Found the matches from that resteraunt
You took me too the other night
That night you told me you didn’t love me
That there was someone else
The night you told me that I
Just wasn’t enough
I burned that envelope
That I sealed nice and tight
And placed on that pretty silver tray
Watched it burned down to the last
Flickering
Flutter
And then a tear drop
Distinguished the last dying flame
